Hi so I have this major hair problem. My hair NOW is dried, fried, frizzy, curly, split ends, rough not soft. But before ALL of this my hair was really smooth and straight because I was born with the straight black filipino hair.

It all started in
2004 I went to vacay to the philippines and my aunty recommended I RELAX my hair.
2005 I vacay to the phi again to relax it because it turned out frizzy curly from the previous relax in 2005.
2007-2008 I REBONDED my hair at a salon to make it straight again.

At the same time I've had my hair colored many times and I use to straighten it from the outcome of it being so curly n frizzy from the relaxing.

2010 was my last rebond for my hair.

I straighten my hair everyday because I don't like how curly, fried n frizzy it looks.

WHATS THE BEST DEEP CONDITIONER OR HAIR MASK to treat my damaged hair.

I completely stopped using my flat iron for good. I just want it back to normal if that's possible.

Hey girl! Unlike you my hair is naturally frizzy, thick and very dry. I've dyed my hair for years and always use heat on my hair to so you can imagine the state my hair sometimes gets into.

1. If your not going out don't do anything to your hair: I just clip mine up.
2. Aussie is fab for making your hair feel and look healthier; they have many shampoos and conditioners for different hair types.
3. If my hair ever needs a super pick me up I grab my LUSH retreated hair conditioner: this helps to thin my hair and by wrapping my hair up in a towel for several mins with this on it just helps it so much more!
4. After washing your hair NEVER blow dry it let it dry naturally. By doing this my hair has improved greatly and prevents it becoming so frizzy and thick.
5. After washing your hair and when it's damp I use this little beauty and I tell you, I would be lost with out it. It's called AUSSIE conditioning milk & anti frizz control. A couple of pumps and running it through your hair you just leave it in. It makes my hair feel really nice aswell.
6. I've tried a new product so I use this with step with 5. It's called TRESemmé salon silk anti frizz spray something like that. I spray it over my hair comb my hair then just leave it. It gives my hair a healthy shine and to helps with the frizzy ness.

Hope I helped, if you want any more tips/advice drop me a comment on my profile happy to help 😊 x

Thank you so much ill definetly try the Aussie hair line products but does john frieda full repair work too?

It sucks cus I was born with natrual straight smooth hair I can see it in my baby pics and when I was in elementary. Startingaround 2006 was when my hair became frizzy damaged curly from all the colored, relax rebond, straightening flat iron.


MY FLAT IRON IS STOWED AWAY, I'm not using it at all. I'm determined to get my natrual hair back:)

Actually I just recently started to stop using my flat iron 2 weeks ago. And from that 2 weeks I just wash n condition my hair everyday. I let it air dry.

In trying to search online for other ways but for now I can feel my hair a difference it's kinda soft now.

It's still frizzy curly n a little damaged but 2 weeks is not enough I want to experiment 2 months just full on condition my hair, no flat iron.

I want try hair treatments for damaged hair as well and hair mask from drug store but I don't know which one to stick with

When is the last time you cut your hair?

Trim off ALL split ends, only straighten your hair for special occasions. you can apply coconut oil to any dry areas as a leave in conditioner. washing your hair everyday is bad because it removes all sebum (oil) from your scalp and your body compensates by producing more and more because of the lack of sebum. I use this oil. it costs $7 and has ZERO chemicals, so its very good for your hair.

At 76? it becomes liquid, so thats why the top of the jar looks cloudy, but it still moisturizes well. just apply a dime size amount, and you can liquify it by rubbing some between your palms.

@rozberry I last cut it 3 months ago.

But I can now feel a change after I stopped using my flat iron,
N started to deep condition everyday.

I can see my natural hair grew about an inch, I know cause my natural hair is straight, not like my damaged frizzy curly dead hair.

@ysabella ugh sometimes the ppl that rebond hair in the phi don't really know what their doing.

I like your hair it's so thick shiny n long, I used to have that kind hair but the chemicals, flat iron ruined my hair :( I've been stuck just straightening it everyday before cus I'd be embarrassed to go out in public with my ugly hair

My cousin got a perm there they left it for too long and damaged her hair so badly that she had to get it done here in the US :( awwww it will get better buy leave in conditioner and makesure put virgin coconut oil to your hair for 30mim :)
